182: Chapter 164: Transformation 182: Chapter 164: Transformation This is a lonely and beautiful void. It has none of the other Secret Realm’s complete and illusionary sky, nor does it have a boundless frontier. It is only an island in the void. It has edges, it has restrictions, and even its color is silent and bland. But it is real, unusually real. This is a complete real world, one where not even Spirit Vision reveals any lies. Ground, buildings, plants, air, and even sunshine, although none knows how they cycle, they are independent, functioning eternally, that is the origin of the “Hidden World Garden”. Lei Shuiyun doesn’t understand much, but instinctively feels that something is off. This seems to exceed the highest expectations, a secret beyond anyone’s possession. “Just a Secret Realm, is it worth the astonishment?” Lu Ping’an’s usual attitude, on the contrary, calms Meow down. Yes, that’s right, the seemingly normal, but incredibly annoying Lu Ping’an from the ordinary days. But soon, she has no time to get hung up on those thoughts. The overwhelming curriculum immediately overwhelmed her. “As a warrior, at any time, you must possess the ability to exert all your strength, and to achieve this, the fastest path….” The nun tutor calmly explained, Meow was shaking her head, wagging her tails, with high anticipation. Then, the nasty woman laughed. “…..is to get accustomed to death.” As a result, Meow died. In the first hour of the first day, in the athletic field, this cat died 27 times in a row, until “Resurrection System” started to indicate a lack of energy. It wasn’t until then that Chris stood down, and began explaining the problems encountered in the battles. It wasn’t until then that Lu Ping’an came to understand the cat still had a certain degree of combat power in the Secret Realm. He looked at the big cat in a somewhat peculiar manner. If this wasn’t concealing strength, what is? “Of course, how else would I help you with farming and weeding……Now I am at the first-tier, only at the first-tier, you understand?” Chris’s gaze was deep, the meaning clear to Lu Ping’an. Because he’s only at the first-tier, this big cat is at the first-tier too… but the two parties are not of the same power level at all. He only has four first-tier abilities, while the other party….He didn’t even know how many they had. At least during the process of big cat bullying small cats, Lu Ping’an couldn’t even figure out how she managed to do everything. He himself would certainly meet the same fate. After repeatedly questioning by Lu Ping’an, it was confirmed that the giant cat’s abilities were limited. She could only utilize her semi-spiritual avatar when offering services to the “Life Bank”, expending the Secret Realm’s energy as a price to activate her powers. Simply put, she can use it while weeding, cleaning, acting as a sparring partner in the sport field, and protecting the Secret Realm from invasions…… “….An all-purpose tool!” Lu Ping’an honesty was rewarded with a glare from the big cat. Ever since the small cat entered, the big cat has always maintained her humanoid form, and her demeanor is somehow…etheral? Like a boss who operates everything from behind the scenes. “Aren’t you tired? Meow will find out sooner or later.” Lu Ping’an was a bit dismissive. Isn’t she aware of her regular behavior? “….What will she find out? This has always been my style.” Big cat, still in denial, thought for a moment and said stubbornly. “That was just idling, relaxing a little. I’m always serious.” Lu Ping’an sighed, continue pretending if you want to. But he had to admit, this “ruthless character” figure did indeed intimidate the lazily inclined Meow, especially after having been killed repeatedly. Meow’s progress is clearly visible. In the sports field, although you won’t actually die, the pain and injury are all real, and the sweet deaths are saved by the Life Secret Realm, not an illusion. Aches, injuries, and deaths, the big cat’s education method was simple and brutal and the cruel reality of actual battle and pain made Meow awaken to the heart of a warrior. Stiff body? You’ll get used to it. Being slow by a step means instant death, this should serve as a reflex, right? Too many useless movements? Obvious prep before using abilities? After being punished heavily for every mistake, naturally your body will remember. In Chris’s words, for warriors like Meow who prioritize physical strength and natural instincts, practical punishments work much better than lecturing about rules and principles. The process might be a little uncomfortable, though. Watching Meow die and come back to life again and again makes Lu Ping’an… burst into laughter. He’s smug about it, too. He’s so pleased he could use some cola and popcorn to celebrate, which infuriates Meow so much she snaps at him from across the room. With Meow getting into the swing of things and Big Cat starting to find it fun, Lu Ping’an just leaves them to it and focuses on his own work. With direct teaching from Chris, the high-speed fatigue and mental state recovery provided by Life Bank, the rapid physical recovery and resurrection system at the gym, and a large amount of low-level magic potion material in the botanic garden, Meow really is beyond help if she still can’t learn. At the same time, Lu Ping’an makes a little record, noting Meow’s rate of improvement for future reference. Initially, he set a hard deadline—only opening the Secret Realm after reaching the third-tier. There would be plenty of options for fighting and running then. But looking at the situation now, he might actually die before reaching the third-tier. “First, let’s finish the control group experiment. The ‘Sleep Module’ of the Xis White Flower is a bit hard to use…” His own work is also at the most crucial stage. The bottleneck still lies in the Gardener’s professional skills of “Planting” and “Grafting”. The former is okay—it’s improving every day. The latter can only be aided by the proceeds from the scientific gardener… But he can’t experiment every day, and the dividends are becoming less and less ideal. Actually, a potential “weakness” of investment has been discovered—which is the accelerated decrease in dividends after using the same investment target for a certain time period. Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. High-level abilities or research rely on a series of low-level abilities and basic knowledge. The objective dividends from the experience of these basic low-level abilities and knowledge are priceless. But after many dividends, these “basics” lose their freshness, along with a substantial decline in the dividends for Lu Ping’an, because he has already learned them. The best investment targets are actually those who are highly skilled and can research different projects and do different jobs every day… currently, the only one Lu Ping’an knows of is Guan Xinxian. Unwillingly, Lu Ping’an can only gather points and use the module to boost his skills himself. With a light pat, the “sleep factor” is infused into the cherry blossom in front of him, and then, it begins to mutate rapidly. The “Garden” facility is maintaining its life. Lu Ping’an skillfully operates various equipment, modifies the surrounding environmental conditions, providing it with better living conditions. After about ten minutes of struggling and twisting, it finally stabilizes and forms cherry-colored flower buds. [You gained a small amount of grafting experience…] Lu Ping’an got what he wanted, but he’s still unhappy. This is not the first sleeping cherry tree he’s succeeded in creating, but its performance isn’t as good as the original. The hybrid sleeping cherries that bothered the special agents were high quality products cultivated by high-level gardeners through numerous generations. Even with their life essence module, Lu Ping’an cannot surpass them in the short term. He tried to fuse it with other magical plants, some successes, some failures, but the results were generally subtle. “Without the support of cherry trees, the effect of the flower is greatly reduced, and even the vitality of the plant itself is extremely weak. As the factor is too powerful, the function of the other half of the magical plant is greatly weakened.” The “instant blooming” I saw on that day is the optimal solution after many generations of improvement. Even with a cheat-like helper like Lu Ping’an, a better solution can’t be “bumped” out in the short term. If the flower can’t bloom faster and broadcast its toxic pollen faster, then it’s practically worthless… why not use the original cherry blossoms for actual combat? This is a matter of course. The easy improvements Lu Ping’an made before were due to low-level magical plants available on the market, rather than the creations of high-level gardeners. Lu Ping’an felt a bit heartbroken. He has limited life points. He can grit his teeth and accept skill point charging, but upgrading is also for combat power. This kind of ineffective investment is heartbreaking. “How stupid, if the gardener’s methods don’t work, try the methods of a craftsman and a magical alchemist. They complement each other, the raw materials are to be processed anyway.” At this moment, Lu Ping’an, who was reminded by Big Cat, had an enlightened moment.
